Jerusalem and North Israel on a light, waterproof and tear-resistant map combining a street plan of Jerusalem with an enlargement of the Old City, plus on the reverse a road map of Israel with the Negev Desert.

On one side is coverage of Jerusalem: the city with its outer districts is shown on an indexed plan at 1:10,000. On the eastern side of the Old City the plan includes the Mount of Olives and Mount Scopus, but in the west does not cover Yad Vashem or Mount Herzl. Main traffic routes are highlighted and locations of petrol stations and car parks are marked. The Jerusalem light rail route is shown with stops. The plan highlights numerous places of interest and facilities, including selected hotels, embassies, museums and other cultural or educational institutions, places of worship, Israeli governmental buildings, etc.

Accompanying the main plan is a large, very clear enlargement at 1:4,000 showing the Old City in greater detail, including the Stations of the Cross on Via Dolorosa. Also provided is a diagram of the existing and proposed light rail lines, plus a road map of the city’s environs, including Bethlehem and Jericho, indicating the course of the Separation Barrier.

The reverse side is covered by an indexed road map of most of Israel at 1:225,000, extending Rahat and the southern boundary of the West Bank (i.e. along the Dead Sea Masada and Ein Bokek are not included). The map has altitude colouring to show the topography, including the depression along the Jordan and the Dead Sea. National parks and other protected areas are marked. Road network indicates driving distances on main and selected secondary routes. Names of road junctions are not included. Railway lines marked, with a separate diagram of the network, and local airports are also shown. Towns with tourist accommodation are highlighted and symbols mark various other places of interest including campsites and youth hostels, archaeological sites, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 10’. The map gives no indication which areas are now under the direct rule by the Palestinian authorities and the Separation Barrier is not marked.

On both the plans and the maps all place names are shown only in Latin alphabet. Within Jerusalem’s Old City sites of religious importance are given their alternative names.
